Members of the United Church of Canada, the country’s largest Protestant denomination, voted on Wednesday to affirm a controversial motion supporting a boycott of goods produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The boycott has has outraged many Jewish groups, including the Center for Israel and Jewish Affairs, which expressed it’s anger by “the decision to single out Israeli communities for boycott.”

“In choosing this morally reckless path, the United Church has equally dismissed the concerns of the overwhelming majority of the Canadian Jewish community.” said David Koschitzky, Chair of the Center for Israel and Jewish Affairs.

“No mainstream Jewish organization, including Canadian Friends of Peace Now, endorses Boycott. Even the leadership of the American left-wing group J-Street has publicly condemned boycotts as counterproductive,” he continued.

A survey conducted by the Center found the proposals are in conflict with the views of the United Church members, of which more than three-quarters (78%) of Church members surveyed believe the Church should remain neutral on the issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

According to the survey, only 5% of Church members believe Israeli settlements are the greatest obstacle to peace. Moreover, the majority of those surveyed believe that a Middle East policy favoring one side over the other would weaken the Church’s credibility as a voice for peace.

B’nai Brith Canada also came forth to condemn the recommendations passed by the Church, claiming that whilst “thousands of Syrians [are being] murdered, the United Church is still obsessed with Israeli cucumbers.”

In May, the United Church’s Working Group on Israel and Palestine Policy released a report with recommendations hoping they would help to ease the violence in the region.

The report’s 13 recommendations, which will be voted on Friday, also call for the Canadian government to start identifying products coming from Israel’s occupied areas.

a small correction: … whilst thousands of Syrians [are being] murdered[BY ISRAEL], the United Church is still obsessed with Israeli cucumbers

in short, without zionist disease, middle east would have been the world’s most peaceful region in the last 100 years.

Maurice Cabana-Proulx said,

The «survey» at best reveals that this was a difficult step for the United Church of Canada. The zionists will of course condemn the United Church (and anyone else who gives anything less that total support to Israel) but the Church is used to this. Four decades ago, A.C. Forrest, editor of the UC’s publication, was among the first Canadian church officials to speak out against Israel’s aggressions (he published a book entitled The Unholy Land which went into a number of re-printings in spite of zionist pressures on booksellers).

The UC position on BDS has received support of a number of progressive Canadian jews (Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb of Jewish Voice for Peace, Independent Jewish Voices Canada (IJV) and others).
There a good number of Cannucks that are not zionist infested… and the situation is even better in Québec.

Well, David – that’s because they’re all in bed with the Zionist criminals who are destroying Palestine, terrorizing and murdering Palestinians (and the rest of us too, btw).

But you knew that, surely? …No one could be THAT stupid…

Tell me – is this the place in the discussion where you screech that I’m an “anti-Semite” and so not worth listening to? Heh heh…

You MUST already know that the TRUTH these days is anti-Semitic, don’t you, David?

(btw, I just was directed to this excellent site by whatreallyhappened.com – a great resource for those who don’t have their heads shoved up their butts.)

I appreciate DESERTPEACE’s efforts to correct the record, as a counter to the never-ending screeching and moaning in defense of the indefensible from the dark side.
